I have an advanced datagrid with 5 columns one of which is a
hierarchal (tree). This datagrid is populated by the following:
MyAdvancedDataGrid.dataProvider = new
HierarchicalData(MyXMLListCollection);

The first column is the tree and im trying to do a item
renderer on it in actionscript... I have the following code:
MyTreeColumn.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(MyRenderer);

In order to get the icon and label to show up i need to
extend AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer as such:
MyRenderer extends AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer

This has one problem... the updateDisplayList function only
gets fired for the children not the root rows... So if you set the
this.icon.visible = false... the icon will show up on the root rows
but the most bottom children rows the icon will become invisible...

Now ... if i extend the class with
AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer then the tree functionality gets
overwritten and it doesn't function the way that I need it to..
Ultimately I'm trying to shift the default label over so I can add
another icon to the right of the the default icon so the user can
click on it... Any help from anyone would be greatly
appreciated...

Hello,
I have looked at this example and it uses
AdvancedDataGridGroupItemRenderer. Can you point me in the
direction of any examples that use CheckBoxes in other columns
(e.g. not in the tree column). To do this, I assume you have to use
AdvancedDataGridItemRenderer. Thanks.

I have gone the itemRenderer route that you recommended on a
column. My itemRenderer extends HBox and has some logic to render
the checkbox either selected or not selected and I am noticing some
strange behavior. I overrode the set data function to hook the ADG
into the renderer, is this the only function I need to override?
When I scroll or re-size the browser, all the checkboxes reset to
their original state. Here is my overriden method:

I tried setting the property variableRowHeight="true" on the
ADG in hopes that the row height would size itself to my
itemRenderer UIComponent, but it is not. What is the best way to
adjust the row height from the UIComponent itemRenderer such that
it fits into the cell?

I'm struggling to get my head round creating item renderers
in ActionScript. This example looks really good, but I'm trying to
access the data from there and it's not working as _data is null,
is there something immediately obvious that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
